Tomorrow, India is going to play against South Africa in their last match. This will be the last of super eight stage for India. At this moment, India is playing against England and this match has all the significance for India. England is already out of Twenty20 World Cup and if India loses this match then it will be out too. At this moment, India is almost sure to win this match against England. So, I am assuming here that India is going to be the winner of this match against England. Indeed, India has won this match against England by 18 runs.

Who will win this match of India vs South Africa in Twenty20 World Cup? This is a difficult question to answer. South Africa seems to be the hot favorite to win this match. South Africa has won both of their matches in Super Eight stage so far. In fact, South Africa is the only unbeaten team in this Twenty20 World Cup so far. South Africa defeated West Indies and Bangladesh in the group stage of Twenty20 World Cup. Then in the super eight stage: South Africa defeated England and New Zealand. The important thing to remember is that South Africa won all the matches convincing. In none of the matches, South Africa looked that they would lose. South Africa is the host country and they have huge home support.

When it comes to support, India does not have any shortage in Twenty20 World Cup. There are many people of Indian origin in South Africa. India’s fortune is mixed in Twenty20 World Cup. India defeated Pakistan in a nail biting finish in the group stage. Then India lost to New Zealand in the first match of super eight stage. Just now India defeated England. The main problem with India is their lack of consistency. India has the best batting side in Twenty20 World Cup. Infact, India has at least 6 batsmen who can hit the ball really hard. However, these batsmen failed in the match against New Zealand.

South African batsmen are playing very well. Their fielding is excellent as always. They have also some quality bowlers. If South Africa loses by a big margin tomorrow then they run the risk of getting eliminated according to run rate. So, I think that their players will give their 100% to win the match against India. Remember that South Africa has never won the trophy of any World Cup in cricket. So, this is the best chance for South Africa to change that bad fortune.

India has just one option now- winning. Well, I don’t think that India is the hot favorite for this match. Indian players are not famous for playing well under pressure and now they are under tremendous pressure. It is do or die for India. Nevertheless, I feel that South Africa has better chance of winning the match tomorrow.
